LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell's Zach Hartman made his second-straight CoSIDA Academic All-District 2 At-Large Team, the organization announced Thursday afternoon.
Hartman, a senior Biology major, was one of 14 Division I wrestlers recognized across the eight districts. He was joined on the All-District 2 Team by Navy's Jacob Allen, Penn's Max Dean and Penn State's Nick Lee.
Hartman, a two-time All-American, shined in the classroom. As a junior, he became the second Bison wrestler to make a CoSIDA Academic All-America Team, joining Bucknell Athletics Hall of Famer Ed Curran, a 1988 graduate. This year, he became the first Bison to make the NWCA All-Academic Team and earn an EIWA Academic Achievement Award following all four of his campaigns in Lewisburg. The three-year team captain completed the pre-medicine track at Bucknell with a cumulative grade point average north of 3.90, making the Dean's List every semester. He will attend medical school beginning in the fall of 2022.
Hartman closed his decorated wrestling career with a 96-26 record, which included a 29-6 mark in 2021-22. He logged bonus points for the Bison in 51 of his career victories, with 28 pins, 16 major decisions and seven technical falls. His 28 career victories by fall is good for seventh in program history.
Hartman took sixth in the 165-pound weight class at the 2021 NCAA Championships and captured a spot on the NWCA's honorable mention squad in 2020. He was the sixth Bison wrestler to earn All-America laurels, joining Tom Marchetti (167, 1989), Bryan Burns (190, 1991), Bobby Ferraro (177, 1994 & 1995), Andy Rendos (165, 2009 & 2010) and current assistant coach Kevin LeValley (149, 2010 & 2011). In addition, he joined Marchetti as Bucknell's second NCAA semifinalist.
Hartman was also the sixth Bison to earn a podium spot at four EIWA Championships, joining David Marble (133, 2007-10), Rendos, Paul Petrov (125, 2013-16), Joe Stolfi (285, 2013-16) and Victor Lopez (149/157, 2014-17). He won the 165-pound title at the 2021 EIWA Championships; he also took second (157 in 2019 & 165 in 2020) and third (165 in 2022) over the course of his career.
As a Bison, Hartman went 45-6 in duals, including a 28-2 mark against EIWA opponents. His longest winning streak occurred this season, a 13-bout stretch that spanned from Dec. 30 to March 6. In addition, he defeated 20 career nationally ranked opponents, including 12 top-20 foes. He was a fixture in the weekly Intermat polls, checking in as high as sixth. He also made all 15 of the NCAA Coaches' Panel Rankings compiled during his time in Lewisburg.
